– What’s up, party people? Welcome to Yoga With Adriene. I’m Adriene and this is Benji and today we have a full body flow for you. So this can be really great if you don’t have a lot of time, but you wanna get the juices flowing. This could also be a really great practice to supplement with a run or another type of class or some sort of meditation even. So, hop into something comfy and let’s get started. (upbeat music) Hi, everyone. We’re gonna begin today’s practice standing at the top of the mat. Thanks so much for sharing your time and your energy with me and all of the people practicing this video at the same time as us. Let’s begin in Mountain Pose. See how fast you can ground through the feet, stand up nice and tall and right away dive right into noticing your breath. Draw the palms together at the heart, Anjuli Mudra. Lift the sternum to the thumbs. If you feel comfortable, close your eyes or just soften your gaze gently down past your nose. Relax your shoulders and invite a more loving awareness into this moment. Start at the ground, soles of the feet pressing into the earth. And then work your way up, scanning the full body here to start in Tadasana, Mountain Pose. As you gently begin to deepen your breath, let go of the day thus far. Politely put any tasks that you have to do after this practice on hold. And let’s find what feels good here in this sweet flow, ready? Inhale in. Exhale to bow the head to the heart. Continue to elongate your inhale, extend your exhale and if there’s a little intention, something you’d like to set here for your flow, go ahead and do it now. Good, then take a deep breath in. Exhale to release, fingertips are gonna go down to come up and then on your next inhale, reach for the sky. Exhale, bend your knees, wiggle the fingertips, take it down into a Forward Fold, bent knees here to start. Inhale, lift up halfway, find a flat back position as you reach the crown forward and the tail back. Hug the elbows in towards your side body, pull back with the hip creases, soft bend in the knees. Inhale in, tuck the chin slightly to lengthen the back of the neck and exhale to let everything go. Good, bend your knees, ground through the feet, inhale, sweep the arms all the up, big stretch, big breath. And then exhale, hands to heart, Mountain Pose. Inhale in here. Exhale to relax the shoulders down. Here we go, inhale, reach for the sky. Exhale, rain it down, Forward Fold. Inhale, halfway lift again, your version, find length in the neck. Exhale to slowly bend the knees, plant the palms and step one foot back and then the other for Plank Pose. Press away from your yoga mat, reach the crown forward, heels back. Slowly begin to lift the corners of the mouth as you find this hollow body position, sending your shoulder blades left to right. Creating a doming shape in the upper body. You’re here for three, turning on the abs for two and on the one, slowly lower to the knees. Walk the knees underneath the hip points, press into the tops of the feet.

On an inhale, sweep the arms up and overhead, Crescent Lunge. Big breath here as you lift your chest, lift your heart, squeeze inner thighs to the midline to find that support from within, right? So, we’re not dumping on the joints, we’re creating stability and strength. Inhale, pull the thumbs back. Exhale, send it forward. Lift the back knee, come to a nice, low lunge.

Sink a little lower, gaze forward. Sink a little lower, gaze forward. Inhale in here. Exhale with control, press into all four corners of the feet and slowly rise up. Big beach ball up and overhead. Lift your chest. And then slowly palms kiss together up and overhead. And slide back down to your heart. Pause, capture this moment. Feel the warmth that you created in your sweet, beautiful body. (laughs) Give thanks for your body. Then slowly shift your weight to your left foot. Draw energy up from the arch of the left foot and when you’re ready, peel your right knee all the way up as if you were on a little marionette string. If this doesn’t jive for your body today, you can keep your big toes on the ground and work from here. Moving into Vrksasana, Tree, you might grab that right ankle. Hike it all the way up above the knee and place the foot in the inner thigh. Other options could be to keep the toes on the ground, just opening the hips from there or placing the foot below the knee. Alright, wherever you are today, find that upward current of energy through the front body and then balance it with that downward energy through the back body. Finding your variation of Tree Pose today, find something to focus on, breathe slow and steady. If you’ve been practicing for a while, work to press into all four corners of your right foot evenly and then press your left inner thigh into your foot. Find that opposition, that connection in the midline. Pressing into the outer edge of the right foot. You can take the arms up and overhead. You can challenge yourself by taking the gaze up to the sky. Soften the skin on the face. And then when you’re ready, slowly release and take it to the other side. Moving nice and slow here from the center. Exploring that Tree Pose on the other side here today. Finding that connection, playing with opposing energy and it’s okay to have a little fun. If you fall, I’ll catch you. If you feel humble today, let’s have a little giggle, it’s all good. Hold onto your focus. If you wanna challenge yourself, maybe you take the arms up. Maybe you take the gaze up towards the sky and maybe on this one if you really wanna challenge yourself, you try closing your eyes. And then wherever you are, take a deep breath in. Breathe into all four sides of the torso, expand. And then exhale, slowly release, bring it back down. Feet together, really together. Creaky old floor, what is up? You’re finally back! Here we go, inhale, reach for the sky. Exhale, fold it all the way down. Inhale, halfway lift, last one. Exhale, soften and fold. From here, bend your knees, bend your knees, bend your knees. Fingertips on the ground here to support you. Nice little ball. Good, when you get there, you’re gonna slowly tuck the chin and round the third eye or the forehead towards your knees. Get a nice, big stretch in the upper back body. Good, make it round. Adjust if you need to. And then from here we’re gonna slowly use the hands nice and easy to come onto the bum. Send your left leg out long, right leg comes up. Hook the left elbow to the right knee, we’re gonna find a little twist to your cooling it down. Inhale, the lift and lengthen. Exhale the twist. Good, release, switch, second side. Hooking the right elbow to the left knee, sit up nice and tall. And finding your twist, nice and easy. Don’t push, don’t force. Good, slowly release. Come all the way onto your back. Hug the knees into the chest, take the deepest breath you’ve taken all day in. And then exhale to release your limbs, Shavasana. Close your eyes, find stillness for just a moment here. If you feel inspired to practice more, you can select another video. Otherwise, drink lots of water today. You done good, you done good. I hope to see you soon. Let’s bring the palms together, thumbs up to the third eye. We’ll close by taking one last deep breath in together. And then we’ll whisper Namaste. (upbeat music)

The Benefits of Yoga and Pilates

Yoga and Pilates are two powerful practices that offer numerous benefits for your physical and mental well-being.

Here’s how they can enhance your life:

Yoga: Harmony and Relaxation

Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to promote overall well-being.

Here are some key benefits:

Improved Flexibility: Regular yoga practice stretches and lengthens your muscles, improving your range of motion and reducing stiffness.
Enhanced Balance: Yoga poses a challenge to your balance and coordination, helping to prevent falls and improve stability.
Stress Relief: The mindful breathing and meditation techniques used in yoga can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
Mindfulness: Yoga encourages you to be present and aware, fostering a deeper connection between your mind and body.

Pilates: Core Strength and Posture

Pilates focuses on controlled movements and precise techniques to strengthen your core and improve your posture.

Here are some key benefits:

Core Strength: Pilates exercises target the deep abdominal muscles, helping to build a strong and stable core.
Improved Posture: By strengthening the muscles that support your spine, Pilates helps you maintain good posture and reduce back pain.
Increased Flexibility: Like yoga, Pilates enhances your flexibility through controlled, flowing movements.
Body Awareness: Pilates promotes body awareness, helping you understand and correct your movement patterns.
